TROUBLESHOOTING

Air Conditioner Doesn’t Operate

1. Check there is power to the air conditioner. There is no power if the Climate Touch’s screen is blank.
2. Check the Climate Touch is on, i.e. the display shows the operating mode and fan setting.
3. Check if the Schedule ‘Enabled’ symbol (Figure 1) is displayed. If so, check that you are in the ‘switch on’ period. You can use the Override function to operate the air conditioner outside any preset time (refer to page 9).
4. Check your user permissions with the system Administrator.

Reduced Cooling or Heating from normal

1. Check to see if the air filter (if any) requires cleaning.
2. Check if any doors or windows are opened.
3.  Check that there are no obstacles in front of the outdoor unit.
4.  Check that Eco mode is not selected.

No Cooling or Heating

1. Check that the correct operating mode has been selected (Auto, Cool, Heat but not Fan only ventilation).
2. The preset temperature may have been set too high or too low.
3.  If the operating mode or set temperature has just been adjusted wait for 20 minutes as a delay is enforced between cooling and heating operations to prevent rapid cycling.

Not Starting and Stopping at Programmed Times

1. Check the time clock is set to the correct time and adjusted for Day Light Savings or Summer time.
2. Check the Schedule times has been correctly programmed.

Room temperature varies significantly from its setting

• Unit may have been incorrectly sized for the building.
• Drafts from wrongly placed supply air diffusers or from the back of the wall plaque could be affecting the temperature sensor built into the wall plaque.
• Bad air circulation in the room can cause incorrect temperature readings.
• Check the temperature sensor that protrudes below the Climate Touch has not been damaged.

Air conditioner does not seem to deliver the heating when most needed

• Heating capacity at design conditions may be incorrect. As the outside temperature falls, heat losses through the walls, floor and ceiling increase.
• Check the unit’s brochure for information on the minimum/ maximum operating temperatures.

When heating, units have de-icing cycles built in to remove ice on the outdoor coil.

This usually means reversing the cycle for a short time during which time there is no heating and in fact a little cooling can occur. Do not use any potential ignition source to accelerate the defrosting process.

In a new building, why does it take some days before the air conditioning heat pump unit seems to work properly?

• Many new buildings have a large amount of concrete and other structural materials that are generally cold and full of moisture. This is most evident in the winter when trying to heat the building from scratch.
• Units need some nursing through this period and should not be left to their own devices.

Indoor unit is spitting or leaking water

• Poor drain trapping (most likely cause).
• Check the drain trap/vent/slope before moving on to other possible issues.
• Water carry-over: Reduce the maximum fan speed to the factory default setting.

Air conditioner runs excessively – the temperature remains too hot in summer or too cold in winter.

• Windows or doors may be opened to non-conditioned areas.
• Keep doors to unconditioned areas (eg laundries, bathrooms etc.) closed. Note that any doorways on the return air path will need to be kept open, which may mean for example that doors to an unconditioned hallway will need to be kept open.
• Leaves, papers or other items blocking air flow over the outdoor unit coil. Clear all debris away from the outdoor unit.
• Location of wall controller or remote temperature sensor is wrong.
• Check for leaks in supply or return air duct work.

‘Fault’ is displayed on the Home screen

If the system is in a fault state a ‘Reset’ button will be displayed in the ‘Notification Log’ screen when the system is able to attempt a restart. Press ‘Reset’. If there are issues with your Air Conditioning system or in the event of frequent or recurring Resets being required, it is recommended to contact your Service Company. A list of Status messages is displayed in Appendix II (p.21).

Notification Log displays an error code

Where to find the Notification Log: Press ‘Notification Log’ to keep track of key activities of the unit, including when and what the unit was doing at time of any fault. Installler Settings (refer page 14): The Commissioning Mode toggle may be used to enable faster changeover between cooling and heating to aid in speeding up installation and fault finding. Commissioning mode is automatically enabled when a Technician logs in and disabled after 10 minutes of inactivity. If the system is in a tripped state a ‘Reset’ button will be displayed in the Notification Log screen when the system is able to attempt a re-start. If the system is in a fault state (lockout), the Service person must address the root cause, with the assistance of Temperzone if necessary.
